SRINAGAR -- Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) continued to reel under
complete shutdown coupled with strict curfew and other restrictions for
the second consecutive day, Monday.

Restrictions are imposed in Srinagar, Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama,
Badgam, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kupwara and Baramulla districts since
Sunday to prevent protests against the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen
Commander Sabzar Ahmad Butt and his associate Faizan Ahmad in Tral on
Saturday.

Call for a two-day strike was given by the joint resistance
leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad
Yasin Malik. The leadership has also called for a march towards Tral on
Tuesday to pay tributes to Sabzar Ahmad Butt and other martyred
youth.

All shops and business establishments are closed while traffic is
off the road. Educational institutions have been closed by the
authorities in addition to postponement of the Kashmir University exams
scheduled for today. Train, mobile and internet services also remained
suspended in the valley.
